Are the Orioles Next Up for a Starting Pitcher?
According to a report from USA Today's Bob Nightengale, rival executives expect the Baltimore Orioles to be the next team to sign a top-tier starting pitcher from the free-agent market after the Mets filled their rotation by acquiring Freddy Peralta from the Brewers. The Orioles currently have Trevor Rogers, Kyle Bradish, Shane Baz, Dean Kremer, and Zach Eflin in the mix as starting pitchers, but could definitely use a front-line option. Some of the best options still available are Framber Valdez from the Astros, Chris Bassitt from the Blue Jays, Lucas Giolito from the Red Sox, and Nick Martinez and Zack Littell from the Reds. The Orioles' young lineup is expected to improve in 2026, but they'll need the starting pitching to step up if they want to contend in a very competitive AL East.
